雨天中止で半落ち

週頭、LAより帰国しました。

いよいよ雨の多い季節に突入？
梅雨はやっぱりどうも好きになれん。
5月生まれなんですけどね。

今日は久しぶりの阪神戦で、
しかも橋本ちゃんがバックネット裏を取ってくれたのに！
・・・雨で試合中止。

今年は晴れオトコ振りを発揮していたので、
もしかすると行けるかも・・・と思ってたけど、ダメでした。
まぁ台風だからしゃあないか。

帰国早々、歯医者へ。
アメリカ行く直前に詰めていた歯がとれて、
応急処置していたところを治療してもらう。
最近は、銀歯じゃなくて、セラミックとか入れるのね。
インカの時代に比べてそういうところは進化してるんだ。
でも値段高すぎ。１本10万！保険も利かないそうで。
てな訳で、僕は保険の利く銀歯を入れてもらった。

なぜか治療中に、吉野家の牛丼が食べたくなる。
早く復活してくれないかなぁ。

治療後、友人のWilsonから電話。
シンガポールでIDNというデザイン会議に出席して、
今、東京にいるとのこと。
恵比寿で会って、ランチを食べる。
今考えている次のゲームの構想をぶつけてみる。
なかなか話が盛りあがって、いい感じで膨らんだ。
奴はILMで働くアーティスト。
映画的な視点で創作し続けている人間の話は
いつもいい影響を与えてくれる。

その後、ゲームから映像業界に転向した
とある友人と久しぶりに会う。
これまた構想中のアイデアをぶつけてみると、
話がどんどん膨らんだ。

今、いろいろ考えてます。
やりたいことが沢山あって、
そのチャンスはきっと、手の届くところにあるのでしょう。
もちろん、全部はできるわけではないので、
ピントを絞り込んで、少しづつ実現して行こうと思ひます。

あー野球観れなかったの
残念だぁ
代わりにバージンシネマのレイトショーでも行こうかな。
「ザ・デイ・アフター・トゥモロー」はまだやってないのかな？
だとしたら、「スクール・オブ・ロック」か。

あ、そういえば！
LAに行く飛行機の中でやっと映画「半落ち」を見た。
これはヤバイ。地味だけど、シナリオが秀逸。
涙ボロッとは行かないけど、
泣く寸前までいきます。
まさに、涙も「半落ち」状態ね。

The rainout and Han-ochi

I came back from LA at the beggining of this week.

At last, it's getting in the rainy season, isn't it? I don't know why but I can't become to like the rainy season though I was actually born in May.

Today, I would go to the baseball game. I hadn't been there for a long time and Hashimoto-chan had booked a very good seat... However, it was rained out.

I had been "Sunny Man" this year so it should be fine , I thought...but it wasn't. Anyhow, the cause was a typhoon so I couldn't help it.

By the way, I went to see a dentist as soon as I came back from LA. Before I went to US, I'd lost a tooth and went to see the dentist but I hadn't a time so he did a emergency aid.
I hadn't known that some people stop a tooth with ceramics now. Such thing has evoluved since the Inca era. However, the charge is too expensive. \100,000 for a tooth! What is worse, there is no insurance. That was why, I chose a silver tooth which I could use an insurance.

When I was having my teeth treated, I didn't know why but I felt to want to eat a beef bowl by Yoshinoya. I wish it returns soon.

Afterwards, my friend, Wilson rang me. He'd been to the design conference,"IDN" in Singapore and was in Tokyo then. We met in Ebisu and had lunch. I talked about my next game. That was a good choice for me. He is an artist works at ILM. I can always get good influence from the people keep to create by a point of view of the film world.

After that, I met my friend who'd moved to the audio-visual industry from the game industry. Then I talked about new idea, again and it was bigger and bigger.

I've been thinking about lots of things now. I have many things I want to do and the chance may be there my hand can reach, I think. However, I can do not everything, you know. Then, I'm going to do those little by little.

Well, I really wanted to go to the baseball game! In place of the baseball game, I'm going to the Late Show of Virgin cinema, I wonder. How about "The Day After Tomorrow"? Or,"School of Rock".

Ah, I watched the movie,"Han-ohi" in the aeroplane on the way to go to LA. It was fantastic. Although it's sober, the scenario is excellent. In fact, I didn't cry but it was a nearly crying. It surely "Han-ohi". Tears are also "Han-ochi"(Half fall), aren't they?
